EVERY MOTHERS SON
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(written by Steve Marriott)
Capo on 1st fret
One two three four
EABABEA
The last time I saw her she was wavin' me goodbye
ABE
She swore no other boy would take my place
ABEA
I took a Mississippi Queen through New Orleans and down the Bayou
AAAAB
I hoped to find my destiny, my fortune and my face
Chorus:
EAB
Please tell her that I said hello
EAB
Explain to her I didn't wanna go
EF#
But the message from her daddy said
AB
He's gonna see me dead
EBEA
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
BE
She'll never know, never know
EABE[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/h/humble_pie/every_mothers_son_crd.html ]ABEA
I stayed around, I played around with all those Southern belles
AABE
But they took away my money and my pride
ABEA
I had no place to go and the rest you know darn well
AAAAB
Livin' out the gutter ain't so easy to describe
ABEA
But I still had my guitar, so I joined a dirty band
ABE
Workin' in a smoky downtown bar
ABEA
When comes along this big wheel with a contract in his hand
AAAAA
Said, 'put your mark along here boy
AAAB
I'm gonna make you a Rock 'n' Roll star'
Chorus:
EAB
Please tell her that I said hello
EAB
Explain to her I didn't wanna to go
EF#
But the message from her daddy said
AB
He's gonna see me dead
EBEA
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
BEABE
Never know, never know
EABEEABEEAB
Well the years have come and gone
EA
And I was passing through to find
AABE
That my home town was still the same to see
EABEA
Well, the memory I had of her had crumbled from my mind
AAAAAB
I really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for me
Chorus:
EAB
Please tell her that I said hello
EAB
Explain to her I didn't wanna to go
EF#
But the message from her daddy said
AB
He's gonna see me dead
EBEA
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
BEAB
Never know, never know
repeat E A B 2 times mmmmmhhh yeah
EBEA
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
BE
Never know, never know
E A B....never know, never know,
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
This and my other post "Cold Lady" are one of the few Humble Pie transcriptions
that can be found on the web, as it seems.
(By the way: These are the only ones, at least I found no others. If you find
any others please let me know!)
